Many FreeBSD mirrors still carry code to FreeBSD 2.0, but that is not what you want if you just want 4.4BSD-lite. I think the BSD-lite code is still available as a tarball to download from various places. 40MB or so if I recall. I couldn't find it from a very quick search, but I'm sure you could find it. It may even be on ftp.FreeBSD.org if you know where to look. hth Tim
